prosthetics

Engineers have built an artificial eye inspired by the design of biological eyes which can harness the many valuable characteristics of the human eye for image-sensing. It’s possible that it may even surpass the human eye in performance.

Bioengineers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh have developed a new computational algorithm to improve the function of brain-computer interfaces. This algorithm works by finding common patterns of activity over time and…

Neuroengineers from Europe have shown preliminary evidence that restoring limited sensory feedback from upper-leg amputees improves mobility, reduces risk of falls, and improves integration of prosthetic devices compared to standard prostheses.
